Hey guys, request from IT department here. We have "wonderful" users who try to perform an operation on hundreds of thousands of cells at a time then complain that their computer is too slow when their i7's with 16 gigs of RAM and SSD's chug for a bit trying to make sense of the idiotic request they just made of Excel which is far out of the bounds of what Excel is really meant to do. Instead of slowing to a crawl, when users get past the point of doing something reasonable, can you just have a pop-up that reaches out of their screen, bitch-slaps them, takes their mouse, opens up MS Access, and tells them to stop trying to run a database out of Excel and then blaming the hardware for their idiocy? Thanks.

But you can choose to watch whoever you want. You are the Curly, Larry, and Moe of your Youtube cooking show.

How likely is it for a member of congress to take an appointment with some random schmo from his/her district? I feel like the chances of that actually happening are slim to none.

Stop saying that like it's a bad thing. I don't want someone who is going to blindly vote "for my team" and "against their team." I want someone who will consider an issue and vote accordingly.

If you have specific things he voted for which are bad things, by all means, bring them up. But just because a Republican brings something up, doesn't make it a bad thing.

So your attempt to make us feel better about lobbying is to tell us that while some influence comes from money, that's not the part that matters, it's who can be the most buddy buddy with our elected officials, cause once you're friends with one of them, they'll vote the way you want.

And you see nothing wrong with that.

And you're supposed to be the good guy in this story.

I think I need to move.
